X-men 2 review *SPOILERS* - Page 4

*Possible Spoilers for X3*

A little history according to the real source, Marvel comics (not the friggin cartoon)...

1) Pyro was a memeber of the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants along with Magneto and Mystique, who later dropped Magneto and became Freedom Force, a government sponsored mutant special ops squad. I'm waiting for The Blob to come in the story, as he is one of the original villians.

2) Yes, Jean Grey did die in the comics, but on the Blue Area of the moon, where she was killed by an ancient lazer type weapon. She was later resurrected as Pheonix and was also cloned as Madeline and then.. well... it just goes on and on.

3) Hank McCoy, who was briefly in X2, is also known as Beast, and was one of the original 4 X-Men (Cyclops, Jean Grey, Angel and Beast). He later turned blue during some botched experiment, and then got lots of chicks.

Question to comic book heads... was Jason Stryker also known as Legion?

Much of the stories of the 2 movies were developed by Chris Claremont, who is one of the best comic writers, hands down. He and penciller Mark Silvestri are the best team to ever draw and write an X-Men comic. Very dark and bleak at times. Fantastic stuff. Highly recommended.

Some of you might remember Jim Lee, but he blows. He spent all his time drawing hot chicks without moving the stories along.

My hope for X3? One word... Apocalypse... ohhhhhhhh yeah...

Apocalypse would be great in x-3 he was the best villian, he is immortal and can not be killed i dont ever remember the x-men killing him only shooting him out into space or something like that.

Apocalypse had a weak spot.

Really? When?

*shrugs and walks away*

Hank was on the TV in some restaurant or something talking about Mutant legislation or something. He wasn't a part of any storyline, but just kind of in the background as a easter egg for long time XMen fans.

DarkMaster · 05-05-2003, 04:18 PM

who is Angel? for some reason, I dont remember that person at all...

and another thing, wasnt Sabertooth some kind of long time rival of wolverine? if so, it's kind of stupid that he died in the first x-men movie (unless he lived somehow or will raise from the dead for X3!) I always thought the back story with wolverine, sabertooth, and that chick (greyfox or something?) was pretty interesting in the cartoon

DeathsHand · 05-05-2003, 06:33 PM

I don't remember sabertooth dying in the first one... So maybe he just was 'lying low' for a bit or was in custody... or... something...

Or maybe he died and I just forgot...

If you want to read the real story behind the characters, read the comics. They infinitely better than the cartoon. even though the cartoon wasn't that bad.

To clarify some of your questions:

*possible spoilers for future X-Men movies*

Angel was an original X-Man from the comics. He had large bird wings. I know pretty lame, right? Well, he was lamne until Apocalypse got his hands on him, replacing his feathered wings with razor sharp metal wings that could shoot knives... very cool.

Sabertooth is Wolverine's father.

I think either Sabertooth and Toad will be brought back for the next movie, or they aske for too much money for X2. Their deaths were far too vague for that to be the end of them if they could agree to terms on a contract price.

Jean Grey.

And if they include Apocalypse then they have to include Cable and Sinister because Sinister help made Cable, for the soul purpose to destroy Apocalypse.

Oh yeah Apocalypse is like 2000 years old, he was deserted as a baby and a tribe of warriors from him, crying in the desert, took him in ( this is in Eygtian times) , but no one really knows if he dropped down from the moon or if he was born a mutant.

BTW why hasn't Rogue learnt to fly as yet? They have Rogue so crappy, she has super strenght and flight and I'm sure she developes them before Nightcrawler comes into the storyline.

And I want Gambit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Xantar's right as far as I know Gambit hasn't charged anyone up but I've seen him charge a big rock and shove it into someone's stomach , cool stuff.

Yup, yup I hope they do X3 2 times better than the second one.

BTW isn't Nightcrawler Mystique's son? I'm sure she is
